The One Thing Making Anxiety & Stress Worse! (You're Doing It Right Now)

100% of the clients who come to me with anxiety and stress are doing one thing that makes it worse. Most people listening are doing it right now — and have no idea.In this episode I share the moment at the lowest point of my life that changed everything, and the shocking thing I found out about my own breathing that had been quietly feeding my anxiety disorder for years.You'll learn the top 3 problems mouth breathing causes: why it puts your nervous system into survival mode, why it's behind your afternoon brain fog, and the surprising reason it's waking you at 2am. Then the top 3 benefits of nasal breathing for calm, clarity and confidence — plus the free "wonder drug" your body makes that you only get if you keep your mouth shut.I've just come back from training with world-leading breathing expert Patrick McKeown, author of The Oxygen Advantage, and what I learned means I'm rebuilding my own practice from the ground up. Patrick joins me this autumn.Simple steps to make the switch. One piece of homework. Start today.In this episode: mouth breathing and survival mode · the carbon dioxide myth · why you're waking in the night · nitric oxide · how to become a nasal breather · nasal strips and mouth taping (and who shouldn't) · free 5 and 10 minute breathwork sessionsEducational content, not medical advice. Speak to a clinician before changing your breathing practice if you have a diagnosed respiratory, cardiac or sleep condition.
